After the fermentation process we have an alcohol called ethanol and this ethanol is then transformed in the next step to the monomer called ethylene. The monomer very easy to understand is the smallest puzzle part of a plastic or polymer. We are having this monomer then and after another chemical step and here then Borealis comes in. They are taking the monomer and polymerizing or making the final plastic out of it which then we take and manufacture into a mid-seal
